  • Fishing Marinette County by Mike Mladenik
    Fishing Marinette County by Mike Mladenik Marinette County waters sport a diverse fish population, offering something for every angler. If an angler can’t find a place to their liking in Marinette County, they might as well quit fishing. Besides the variety in the type of fish you will find, you will also find a variety in the type of water you can choose to fish. With so many options you might need to add a few more days onto your vacation. High Falls Flowage has historically been known for producing big fish. In May, look for walleye both along the shoreline and in the main part of the flowage. A 1/8 or 1/4 ounce jig and minnow is the best presentation. By late June, most walleyes will be in a summer pattern; weedlines will be prime feeding areas early and late in the day. The deeper rock humps are the prime daytime holding areas. Continue to use jigs, but tip them with a jumbo leech or nightcrawler. During spring, smallmouth cruise the rocky shorelines and are eager to hit plastics or live bait. By mid-summer, smallmouth are active early in the day as they feed along the weedlines and rock piles. In fall, work the deep rock piles with a jig and minnow. High Falls has produced some record class muskies in recent years and if you are after a fish of a lifetime, it is as good a place as any. In June, fish a bucktail or shallow running crankbait on the edge of any fresh weedgrowth.

  • Aquatic Plant Management Goals & Objectives
    Aquatic Plant Management Goals & Objectives The goal of the Lake Noquebay Rehabilitation District is to: Develop and implement a sustainable aquatic plant management program for Lake Noquebay to reduce variable-leaf milfoil dominance and maintain the navigational potential of the lake while protecting fish and wildlife habitat. To achieve this goal specific management objectives have been identified and targets have been set to gauge success and guide selection of management options. Goal: Develop a sustainable aquatic plant management program for Lake Noquebay. A sustainable aquatic plant management program will be cost-effective, socially acceptable and should, as much as possible, be relatively easy to repeat as needed. In determining cost effectiveness the District needs to consider annual management cost, duration of control and permitting requirements. Objective: Increase efficiency and effectiveness of the current aquatic plant harvesting program. Since the District has already invested heavily in a successful aquatic plant harvesting program emphasis should be placed on increasing the effectiveness of the program and looking for efficiencies to reduce cost and/or better meet the needs of LNRD members. Annual evaluation of the harvesting program will be easier if adequate records are kept and presented in a clear manner. Target – Collect detailed records of annual harvesting efforts and areas harvested. Keeping the harvesters in good repair and replacing equipment at the optimal times to reduce maintenance costs can minimize the cost of the harvesting program. Target – Implement a routine maintenance program to reduce harvester downtime. The Wisconsin Waterways Commission harvester grant program cedes any interest in cost-shared equipment after 10 years.
